I have a website that redirects to a Moneris Hosted Pay Page in order to accept any payments. There is nothing Moneris or payment related on the website side, that is all done via the HPP.
My question is there anything that needs to be done in my case in order to upgrade to 3-D Secure 2.0 to get the added security benefits, or would this be done automatically on Moneris' side?
Thanks in advance!
I think what you refer as "Moneris Hosted Pay Page" is what Moneris calls "Moneris Checkout". In which case, they say in a blog post that this feature will automatically be upgraded to 3d secure 2.0.

Moneris Checkout
Our hosted payment solution that allows merchants to process online payments on their website now supports 3DS 2.0. From a development perspective all that is required is an integration to our Moneris Checkout (MCO) solution and quick configuration in the Merchant Resource Center (MRC). A sales order is required to enable 3DS on your merchant account. 3DS integrates into MCO by routing transaction requests to the card brands for a 3DS authentication request. Only transactions that are authenticated will be sent for authorization. If the issuing bank is not authenticating the transaction, the transaction is not eligible for fraud-related chargeback protection and sending for authorization would not be a good idea. Merchants who were using 3DS 1.0 via MCO will automatically have their transactions sent to 3DS 2.0. Please note that there are new fields in the Moneris Checkout response for 3DS 2.0, which you may choose to consume. Moneris will also control this transition from 3DS 1.0 to 3DS 2.0 within MCO.

I see paypal is upgrading their APIs. I want to collect recurring payments and provide a feature to upgrade / downgrade the plans.
In the samples, paypal is using billing agreements and when I see the docs, it says the API is deprecated please use subscriptions API. I am confused which one to use.
Please help me in this.
PS: Also my product includes one time payments
The PayPal Subscriptions API uses billing agreements and plans, and there are multiple versions. Everything linked from https://developer.paypal.com/docs/subscriptions/integrate/ will be the most recent version.
For one-time (non-subscription) payments, the most robust integration is to have two routes on your server that implement v2/checkout/orders API calls to "create order" and "capture order", combined with this front end: https://developer.paypal.com/demo/checkout/#/pattern/server
For a subscription integration to be similarly robust (in that your server gets an immediate API response of profile activation), you can have those buttons call your server as well: PayPal Smart Subscribe server side
I am going to build an eCommerce website that supports PayPal.
Buyers connect their PayPal account to the website before they get products.
The website should collect funds without a normal checkout flow whenever buyers buy products.
For this, I've researched the Permissions Service API on PayPal.
But, I can't find enough descriptions to build such a website.
I would like to know how to integrate PayPal for this.
What you are looking for is a "Reference Transactions" solution. It can be tested in sandbox, but to use it in live, the business account would need to be approved for this feature by PayPal. To do this the account owner would need to contact their PayPal account manager or PayPal's general customer support (not MTS), and explain the business need for this feature.
As far as implementing the solution, the only public documentation I'm aware of is for classic APIs: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/express-checkout/ec-set-up-reference-transactions/ . Any newer API or vault solution does not appear to be publicly available at this time, but you could always contact PayPal's support and ask if there's something they'd rather you implement than those classic APIs. The more significant hurdle is the business approval for the feature mentioned earlier.
I have an app hosted on Heroku (still in development and not live) which is an online course. Users can sign up for free and they get access to the free video section. The free video section has a Stripe Payment button. If users which to become members then they can make payment and will gain access to the 'membership' video section of the app once payment is successful.
My question is to do with SSL and taking payment. I have asked this question to Stripe and they have responded:*
Yes, you'd have to set up a TSL/SSL certificate for PCI compliance. Since you're using Heroku, I'd recommend reaching out to their customer support for more information on that.
I then spoke to Heroku and they said to contact Stripe...
As I'm not very experienced in this area, can someone recommend what I need to do? Do I need to activate SSL when the Stripe Checkout pop up is activated. Does Stripe Checkout even need SSL or is it already secure?
Further information: I'm using Heroku Professional Standard package.
I have found the following from Stripes website:
PCI compliance is a shared responsibility and applies to both Stripe and your business. When accepting payments, you must do so in a PCI compliant manner. The simplest way for you to be PCI compliant is to never see (or have access to) card data at all. Stripe makes this easy for you as we can do the heavy lifting to protect your customers’ card information. You can simplify your PCI compliance as long as you:
Use Checkout, Stripe.js and Elements, or our mobile SDK libraries to collect payment information, which is securely transmitted directly to Stripe without it passing through your servers
I'm pretty sure as I'm using Stripe Checkout then I do not need to do anything further, but just want to be 100% sure before I start taking payments...
Thanks
Even if Stripe Checkout itself is served over HTTPS from Stripe's servers, your payment page including Stripe Checkout also needs to be served over HTTPS with a valid TLS certificate in order for you to be PCI compliant.
(Technically, if your site was served over unencrypted HTTP, an attacker could do a man-in-the-middle attack and change https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js with the URL to a malicious script.)
You should simply ask Heroku to help you setup HTTPS on your site -- the fact that you're using Stripe is just context for why you need this, but it doesn't change anything for Heroku.
Can I get users to enter credit card details on the PayPal site, rather than my own when setting up a recurring payments profile for direct credit card payments?
When setting up a recurring payments profile for a user who wishes to subscribe to my service, I currently follow the standard recurring payment flow (as shown in the PayPal API examples):
Use the REST API to create a billing plan and agreement.
Redirect the user to the PayPal site.
User logs in/registers on PayPal site and confirms their acceptance there.
PayPal redirects them back to my site for final confirmation of the billing agreement.
Once they have confirmed on my site, billing commences and we start listening for IPN's.
However, it seems that if you want to use direct credit card payments (i.e. the customer does not have/want a PayPal profile), you have to capture the credit card details on your own site and pass them through to PayPal on the API call. Is there a way to move the credit card detail capturing to the PayPal site itself?
Yes, PayPal supports this arrangement; they call it hosted pro or hosted sole solution. However, it's classic, not the new REST.
PayPal's newer direct credit card APIs use vaulting, but I don't believe they come with a fully PayPal-hosted page that would avoid all PCI complications for you.
You might also want to look at Braintree's solution, which integrates into your page but handles encrypting & tokenizing the card details so you don't have to worry about PCI.
I'm looking into using Stripe.js for payment processing in a mobile web application wrapped in Cordova. According to the Stripe documentation all checkout pages should be served over https. Since Cordova will technically be serving these pages locally in a webview, are there any security concerns I should worry about?
Note: I will still be using https to submit the tokenized card details from Stripe to my remote API server to actually complete the charge.
I'm an engineer at Stripe.
Cordova/PhoneGap isn't a platform we actively support with Stripe.js, but after talking it over with the team, we have two suggestions for how to mitigate potential vulnerabilities:
Configure your Domain Whitelist sensibly, to limit the possibility of other scripts maliciously sending payment data to an untrusted third party. You should only need to add https://api.stripe.com to support communicating with Stripe.
Always load the latest version of Stripe.js from our servers, per the Stripe.js documentation. This will ensure that you're always up-to-date with any bugfixes and patches we add to Stripe.js
Beyond that, I believe your exposure is similar to using Stripe.js in a normal webpage, loaded in-browser.
(I should note that I assume you're using Stripe.js and not Stripe Checkout—the latter would require the https://checkout.stripe.com domain to be added to the domain whitelist, as well.)
I posted an answer related to this in a similar question. If you control a custom API, give it https protection and send your whole checkout form down into an iframe (source set to your API endpoint).
Then use a plugin like Cordova-HTTP for SSL pinning, and you should be more secure!
